Sierra Nevada foothills at 3200 foot elevation (Calaveras County). I find the little ringnecks all the time; they are the most common small snake I see. In fact, I found a little one today while hiking/herping. I don't keep those as they eat salamanders and I wont feed the beautiful salamanders to snakes. I wish they ate pinks, but pinks are way too big for such tiny snakes.
Found this little skink today. I feel quite pleased I was able to capture it without breaking it's tail. They are very hard to catch intact.
Also found another little California toad to go with my other two toads in my big terrarium. These are my other two; I tried photographing the new one but it is hard to see in the substrate.
